Do something…
I witnessed a car accident. I was pretty sure the girl was dead, I mean nobody survives an impact like that. I didn’t get out of my car and see if I could help. Maybe I was scared I would get in the way. My husband says there is nothing I could have done for [...]

The end of yet another semester.
I managed to get through this semester relatively unscathed.
Pissed off my very conservative bioethics teacher by pointing out that she, no matter how little she wanted to admit it, was in fact pro-choice. I have no beef with this, but apparently she does. Pulled a high A is histology, and actually kinda liked it, don’t [...]

I apologize for the hiatus.
Frankly I was just effing swamped.
As per my usual, I got a job I didn’t need, started tutoring, and running an organization…. all because someone asked me too and I lack the balls to say no.
I think I managed to sqeak out of this semester with the grades I desired, we [...]

If the question says “list” the student will list, the student will neglect explaination unless the question says “list and explain”, because frankly, the student thinks when you say [...]

On The Etichs of Hipocracy
I refuse to tell anyone what to think about abortion.
I very strongly believe that we will never know the point that the “blob of cells” becomes a baby. Frankly, I don’t want to find out I did something unthinkable out of ignorance, so I will error on the side of cautiousness.
But I also believe that [...]

I have decided to volunteer/observe in my ER, or ED, this way I can refuse to do anything I do not want to do and will not get stuck sitting with suicide patients when there are 2 codes running.
Here is the psych patient list of the week…
A 20 YO Male, who honestly believes he is [...]

Outta Here!
In my small ER (or ED) I play the role of what is basically a glorified unit clerk, my only perk is that I get to wear scrubs instead of dress clothes.
This is SO not what I signed up for. I have ended up working for the nurses, ordering stuff and not getting any real [...]

Respect
Please Please Please.
Don’t assume I am uneducated. I may not have any little initials behind my name, but if you took 2 seconds to get to know me you would see that I know what I am talking about.
I have 4 years of traditional education. Including most classes nursing students take, and I don’t take [...]

I love being in charge of codes and being the one that knows whats going on.
Emergency or Critical Medicine is my area for sure.
Anyhow more later!
